Everyone have fun. Be careful about leaving the car running with the AC, the engine could overheat if left too long.

Nah.....I'm used to it with Riley, Angus, and Bishop taking turns up on the bed! I'd feel lost if I didn't have a Newf hoggin' the bed!

Does anyone coming to the Este Park get together have kids of the two legged variety? My sweet 12 year old daughter asked me to post the question.

Tell her not to worry!! Abbey and I plan on doing all sorts of fun things and she can come hang out with us. We're young at heart!
I think one day wer're hitting a water attraction and there's a couple of other things there too.
I can't recall if anyone has children her age, sorry. Please tell her for me to SMILE!! It's gonna be a great week!!

We will be there for a couple of the "events" and we have 2 kids of the Non-furry variety. Our son is almost 10 and our daughter is 7.

We are really looking forward to introducing Gracie to other dogs of her breed and size.

Thanks for the replies re: two legged kids. Lily's thus far shown little interest in boys, other than Lewis. Am sure it will work out.

I pretty much play everything by ear, but I'm so excited for this trip I thought I'd ask if there is anything that is scheduled.
I know RMNR is getting together on the Wednesday, but is there any other things that are scheduled?

Forgot to include that I was notified I'd be cooking one night with the guys while the girls sit around and get sloshed. I mean talk to each other.

We were planning on Trail Ridge Road for Thursday. ( Saving the best for last )
Also......
We will need to do a "Down Town" parade thru the gift shops and a group portrait.

There is a dog beach that I found too- it's near the dog park! Not sure if anyone wants to get their pups wet and deal with clean up, but I can bring my dryer up if anyone needs it.

That's one of the things we're doing on Wednesday with the RMNR group. I'm bringing our dryer, so it would be great to have another one Meg. We'll have a picnic afterwards at shelter #2, which we've already reserved.
The cabins where we're staying is right on the river so I'm sure the dogs will be wet every morning. :coffeedrink:

Im SO looking forward to this! I'll happily bring my dryer. I just accepted a job offer that starts the Monday after the get together ( I made sure to start after the GTG is over- which is absolutely nuts that was a priority, but it was) so this is going to be my last chance for some R&R for a while. Can't think of a better way than to spend it with Newfs:)

Also- bring bug spray! I was swarmed with mosquitos yesterday when I took Boj for a quick swim in the creek! It was like a scene from a horror movie, I slapped my face so many times, that I'm pretty sure I slapped some sense into me, and I can just imagine what I looked like to everyone else. Boj refused to get out of the water, so I ended up running down the path of the creek slapping myself screaming, "Bojie heel!" 'Bojie! Heel!" It was ridiculous. About a half a mile downstream, he decided swimming without me was not as fun, and he galloped and came to join me...

Remind me to teach Bojie how to use the camera while I'm there. That would of been some funny Sh!t to watch! :!rolling:

BTW, has anyone taken Fall River road up to the top. It's a much prettier drive than Trail Ridge. I thought we could take that way up,( It's a 1 way road ) and come down Trail Ridge.

I'll second the need for bug spray. Nebraska is having a bumper crop of mosquitos too. Now if we could train the infestation of grasshoppers to eat the mosquitos.....

Meg congratulations on the job and can't wait to meet everybody.

Will you be putting out a schedule of events for the week? We have rented a cabin in Estes Park and we're bringing Gracie with us. We would love to meet up with the group for one or two events.
